Padikasu Nathar Temple contains a main shrine with a Shiva lingam, flanked by additional shrines dedicated to Parvati as Soundaranayagi within its stone walls.
The temple's foundation dates to the 9th century during the Chola dynasty, with substantial additions made by the Thanjavur Nayaks in the 16th century.
